Subsequent to the reporting period, on October 7, 2023, the Iron Swords war broke out in Israel. As of the date of this report, the war is still unfolding, and it is impossible to assess its duration, nature or scope. This is an unusual event, which is characterized with high levels of uncertainty, and its short and long-term effects on the Israeli economy are unknown.
Further to an immediate report of October 10, 2023 (Ref. No.: -2023 01 114471- ), it should be clarified that as of the date of this report all of the Company's sites in Israel and abroad operate as usual and at full capacity. The Company is an international company, and a material part of its production, marketing and sales activities are conducted outside Israel; the situation in Israel has negligible bearing on the activity of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.
As of the date of this report, all Company employees, except for a small number of employees who were recruited as reservists, attend work as usual.
The Company is of the opinion, that as the war drags on, it may be difficult for the suppliers of SDA, (a wholly owned subsidiary of the company), to supply various crops to SDA, which SD Auses for product manufacturing. This might affect SDA's sales. However, the Company is of the opinion that this will not have a material effect on the Group's profitability and profit.
The Company has liquidity, available financial means and sources of financing (as described in this report), which give it financial resilience and allow it to continue with its planned activity, including executing the acquisition of companies or activities.
The Company assessed the war's impact so far and in the foreseeable future in terms of its manufacturing capacity, sales, purchase of raw materials, cash flow and financing sources, the processes designed to expand the Company's activity, including by way of acquisition of companies, and other activities. In view of the Company's areas of activity, its global deployment, the fact that most of its sales are made to foreign companies, the identity of its customers and the nature of its products, the Company believes that the war does not have, and is not expected to have, a substantial impact on the Company's business and financial results (assuming that no substantial changes will take place in the scope and intensity of its activities, and that no substantial geopolitical changes will take place).
The Company's assessments in this section above in connection with the effects of the war on the Company and its financial results constitute forward-looking information, as defined in Section 32A to the Securities Law, 1968; those assessments are based on information available to the Company as of the report's publication date, and the assumptions listed above. Those assessments may not materialize, in whole or in part, or materialize in a manner materially different than expected, since, among other things, they are impacted by factors outside the Company's control. Should the war continue, expand to other regions in the country, or if the guidance issued by the Israeli government and the Home Front Command change, the pace of recovery of the Israeli economy, the growth trends in Israel and across the world, as well as other changes that will stem from what is stated above, might impact the Company's activity and its financial results in a manner that is different than the assessments listed above.
Further to what is stated in Section 1.8.5 to Chapter A to the Company's Annual Report, in the first nine months of 2023 inflation rates in Israel and across the world continued to rise, and accordingly central banks continued to increase inflation rates in an attempt to curb inflation. In Israel, during the first half of 2023, the Bank of Israel continued the trend of interest rate hikes, which started in 2022, and as of the report's publication date the interest rate remained at 4.75% - and has not changed since May 2023. In Europe the interest increased in the third quarter, and is standing on a rate of 4.5% as of the publication date of this report; and in the USA the interest rate remained unchanged at 5.50% as of the publication date of this report. As of the report date, the Company does not have material CPIlinked or unlinked loans, and therefore, the above-mentioned changes do not have a material effect on the Company's results.
However, a future increase in the Company's loans balance as part of the Group's combined strategy shall lead to an increase in financing costs, and therefore will affect the Company's financial results.
As of the report date, the Company is unable to assess the future impact of all of the above-mentioned factors, if any, on the markets in which it operates in general and on the Company's activity in particular. However, at this stage, the Company believes that those factors will not have a material effect on its results of operations and the implementation of its strategy.
All assumptions and data listed in this Section above regarding the effect of inflation and interest rates on the Company's results constitute forward-looking forecasts, assessments and estimates, as defined in the Securities Law, which are based on the Company's assessments of developments and current and future events, whose date of occurrence, if any, is uncertain and outside the Company's control. These assessments may not materialize, in whole or in part, or may materialize in a manner different than that expected by the Company, due to, among other things, changes in the economic situation in Israel and in other countries in which the Company operates as part of its operating segments.
For information regarding the social-economic situation in Israel and across the world and the war between Russia and Ukraine, see Section 1.8 to Chapter A to the 2022 Periodic Report.
The Board of Directors wishes to thank the Company's management and its employees for the results achieved in the third quarter of 2023.

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of Turpaz Industries Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively - "the Group"), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2023 and the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the periods of nine and three months then ended. The Company's board of directors and management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of interim financial information for these periods in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and are responsible for the preparation of this interim financial information in accordance with Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
We did not review the condensed interim financial information of certain subsidiaries, whose assets included in consolidation constitute approximately 8.1% of total consolidated assets as of September 30, 2023, and whose revenues included in consolidation constitute approximately 5.1% and approximately 9.2% of total consolidated revenues for the periods of nine and three months then ended, respectively. The condensed interim financial information of those companies was reviewed by other auditors, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the financial information in respect of those companies, is based on the review reports of other auditors.
We conducted our review in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements (Israel) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" of the Institute of Certified Public Accounts in Israel. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Israel and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
In addition to the abovementioned, based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure requirements of Chapter D to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

a. General description of the Group and its activity:
Turpaz Industries Ltd. ("the Company") is an Israeli-based company. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2023 include those of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, "the Group").
The Group operates, by itself and through subsidiaries in Israel, the U.S., Southeast Asia and Europe in the development, production and marketing in three operating segments: (1) tastes; (2) fragrances; (3) specialty raw material ingredients (see Note 5).
These financial statements have been prepared in a condensed format as of September 30, 2023 and for the periods of nine and three months then ended ("interim consolidated financial statements"). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and for the year then ended and accompanying notes ("annual consolidated financial statements").
b. The consequences of the war between Russia and Ukraine:
During February 2022, a war broke out between Russia and Ukraine, which continues to cause major casualties, damage to infrastructures and disruption of the Ukrainian economy. As a result, several countries (including the U.S., U.K. and the EU) imposed economic sanctions on certain entities and individuals in Russia or related to Russia elsewhere in the world. Various sanctions were also levied on Belarus.
These sanctions are likely to have a direct impact on these entities and individuals and indirectly affect their business partners as well as certain industries in the Russian and Belarussian economies.
The potential fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, import and export restrictions, availability of materials and local services and access to local resources are all factors that affect entities operating in or with major exposure to Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
As of the date of these interim consolidated financial statements, the Company assesses that the war in Ukraine has not had a material impact on the Group's operating results. However, the war's implications challenge the markets in which the Company operates including disruption of supply chains and raw material availability which, together with the rise in inflation, have led to increases in raw material prices. The increases in raw material prices did not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
c. Effects of inflation and increase in interest rate:
Following the global macroeconomic developments in 2022, there was an increase in rates of inflation in Israel and worldwide. As part of the measures taken to restrain inflationary price increases, central banks around the world, including the Bank of Israel, began raising their benchmark interest rates.
As of the reporting date, the Company has no material indexed or unindexed loans or loans bearing variable interest and therefore the above changes are not likely to affect its results. Nevertheless, a future increase in the Company's debt as part of practicing the Group's integrated business strategy will likely lead to an increase in the Group's finance expenses.
In the latest examination performed in the previous reporting period, the Company found that the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units was significantly higher than their carrying amount and after analyzing the discount rate used to calculate the value in use of its cash-generating units concluded that the updated rate does not significantly reduce the recoverable amounts.
As of the financial statement date, the Company is unable to assess the future effects of all the factors discussed above, if any, on the markets in which it operates and specifically on its activities. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Company estimates that they will not have a material impact on its operating results and ability to realize its business strategy.
d. The effects of the Swords of Iron War:
Subsequent to the reporting period, on October 7, 2023, the Iron Swords war broke out in Israel. As of the date of this report, the war is still unfolding, and it is impossible to assess its duration, nature or scope. This is an unusual event, which is characterized with high levels of uncertainty, and its short and long-term effects on the Israeli economy are unknown.
It should be clarified that as of the date of this report all of the Company's sites in Israel and abroad operate as usual and at full capacity. The Company is an international company, and a material part of its production, marketing and sales activities are conducted outside Israel; the situation in Israel has negligible bearing on the activity of the Company's foreign subsidiaries.
As of the date of this report, all Company employees, except for a small number of employees who were recruited as reservists, attend work as usual.
The Company is of the opinion, that as the war drags on, it may be difficult for the suppliers of SDA, (a wholly owned subsidiary of the company), to supply various crops to SDA, which SD Auses for product manufacturing. This might affect SDA's sales. However, the Company is of the opinion that this will not have a material effect on the Group's profitability and profit.
The Company has liquidity, available financial means and sources of financing (as described in this report), which give it financial resilience and allow it to continue with its planned activity, including executing the acquisition of companies or activities.
The Company assessed the war's impact so far and in the foreseeable future in terms of its manufacturing capacity, sales, purchase of raw materials, cash flow and financing sources, the processes designed to expand the Company's activity, including by way of acquisition of companies, and other activities. In view of the Company's areas of activity, its global deployment, the fact that most of its sales are made to foreign companies, the identity of its customers and the nature of its products, the Company believes that the war does not have, and is not expected to have, a substantial impact on the Company's business and financial results (assuming that no substantial changes will take place in the scope and intensity of its activities, and that no substantial geopolitical changes will take place).
a. Basis of preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements:
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", and in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022.
In February 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes to Accounting Estimates and Errors" ("the Amendment"), in which it introduces a new definition of "accounting estimates".
Accounting estimates are defined as "monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty". The Amendment clarifies the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors.
The Amendment is applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and is applicable to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period.
The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 12, "Income Taxes" ("IAS 12"), which narrows the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12.15 and IAS 12.24 ("the Amendment").
According to the recognition guidelines of deferred tax assets and liabilities, IAS 12 excludes recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities in respect of certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of certain transactions. This exception is referred to as the "initial recognition exception". The Amendment narrows the scope of the initial recognition exception and clarifies that it does not apply to the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from transactions that are not a business combination and that give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences, even if they meet the other criteria of the initial recognition exception.
The Amendment applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. In relation to leases and decommissioning obligations, the Amendment is applied commencing from the earliest reporting period presented in the financial statements in which the Amendment is initially applied. The cumulative effect of the initial application of the Amendment is recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or another component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.
The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements but is expected to affect the disclosure of the composition of deferred taxes in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for 2023.
In February 2021, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, "Presentation of Financial Statements" ("the Amendment"), which replaces the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies. One of the main reasons for the Amendment is the absence of a definition of the term 'significant' in IFRS whereas the term 'material' is defined in several standards and particularly in IAS 1.
The Amendment is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
The application of the Amendment did not have a material impact on the Company's interim consolidated financial statements and is not expected to affect the accounting policy disclosures in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for 2023.
a. Acquisition of Aromatique:
On January 9, 2023, after obtaining the regulatory approvals in Romania, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the purchase of 65% of the issued and outstanding share capital and voting rights of Aromatique Food Srl, a private company incorporated in Romania ("Aromatique"), from its single shareholder ("the seller"), in return for RON 17 million (approximately \$ 3.6 million). The purchase agreement consists of call/put options for purchasing the remaining shares of Aromatique by the Company which can be exercised from January 1, 2025 for a price based on Aromatique's business performances in the period from January 1, 2023 through the option exercise date. Aromatique was founded in 2013 and is engaged in the research, development, production, marketing, sale and supply of savory functional ingredients and flavor mixtures mainly for the Romanian food industry.
The purchase price was allocated to tangible assets, intangible assets and liabilities acquired at their fair value on the purchase date based on a PPA. The table below summarizes the purchase price and PPA:

From the consolidation date through September 30, 2023, the acquired operation has contributed approximately \$ 3,814 thousand to revenues and approximately \$ 447 thousand to net income.
On August 14, 2023, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the purchase of 60% of the issued and outstanding share capital and voting rights of Food Base Kft. ("Food Base"), a private company incorporated in Hungary, from its single shareholder ("the seller") in return for approximately HUF 3,300 million (approximately \$ 9.3 million), less 60% of Food Base's net debt on the closing date and a future earnout based on Food Base's business performances in 2023-2024. According to the agreement, the Company was granted a call option to purchase the remaining shares of Food Base from the seller which can be exercised at the end of three years from the closing date (until five years have elapsed from the closing date) for a price based on Food Base's business results in the period from the closing date to the option exercise date. To finance the purchase, the Company received a bridge loan from a bank that will be later replaced by a long-term loan.
Food Base was founded in 2004. It develops, manufactures, markets and sells flavors and herbal extracts for the food and beverage industries focusing on convenience foods, health drinks and snacks as well as raw materials for the food supplement industry. Food Base's results have been consolidated in the Group's consolidated financial statements since August 2023.
The purchase price was allocated to tangible assets, intangible assets and liabilities acquired at their fair value on the purchase date. The fair value measurement of the assets and liabilities is subject to a final PPA of the fair value of the assets and liabilities, which has not yet been completed as of the date of approval of these financial statements.

From the consolidation date through September 30, 2023, the acquired operation has contributed approximately \$ 1,381 thousand to revenues and approximately \$ 422 thousand to net income.
a. Merger between the Company and Pentaor Ltd.:
On September 21, 2022, following the approval of the companies' boards, a merger agreement was signed pursuant to the provisions of Section 103C to the Income Tax Ordinance, between the Company and Pentaor Ltd. In accordance with the merger agreement, the companies will be merged through the exchange of shares pursuant to Section 103C to the Income Tax Ordinance, so that upon completion of the merger transaction, the Company will hold all of the share capital of Pentaor Ltd. The final approval for the merger was obtained from the Registrar of Companies on June 22, 2023 and Pentaor Ltd. was merged into the Company's operations.
b. Dividend distribution:
On March 26, 2023, the Company declared the distribution of a dividend of approximately \$ 5 million, representing \$ 0.0496 per share. The dividend was distributed to the entire shareholders of the Company on April 18, 2023.
a. General:
As described in the annual consolidated financial statements, given the significant acquisitions made by the Company, its current economies of scale and diversification of income sources, the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") ceased analyzing the operating segments of specialty intermediates for the pharma industry and specialty ingredients separately and began analyzing them aggregately as a single reportable operating segment (specialty raw material ingredients).
As a result, comparative data have been restated.
Based on the aforesaid, the Group discloses three operating segments: (1) tastes; (2) fragrances; and (3) specialty raw material ingredients.
The segments' performances (segment profits) are estimated based on operating income (income before net finance expenses and unallocated expenses), as presented in the financial statements.

a. Fair value:
In the reporting period, the Company measured the fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost and concluded that their fair value is not materially different from their carrying amount.
b. Liabilities in respect of put options, contingent consideration and holdback mechanism:
Some of the business combinations executed by the Company include a mechanism whereby the previous owners have a put option to sell their remaining shares and the Company has a call option to buy those shares (symmetrical put-call options) while others include a contingent consideration mechanism based on the future operating results of the acquirees.
As of September 30, 2023, total liabilities amounted to \$ 37,479 thousand, of which approximately \$ 720 thousand in respect of a holdback mechanism in the Food Base transaction and the balance of \$ 36,759 thousand in respect of the put options and contingent consideration. The value of the put options and contingent consideration was estimated in accordance with the average EBITDA achieved over the term of the agreement. The weighted annual discount rate of the options is 6.5%. The fair value is measured at level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The key non-observable input used by the Company to assess the value of the liabilities is the future EBITDA that will be achieved; in order to assess the liabilities and update their value, the Company used the companies' ongoing results and updated forecasts.

Section 2 Acquired Entity

The Company was founded by Mr. Saul Klabin, who also serves as Company CEO, who began his activity in the field of fragrances as a perfumer as far back as 1967. Today, his son Justic Klabin also works at the Company and serves as VP and Operations Manager.
The Company manufactures fragrances for almost every market while focusing on skin and hair care, air treatment and home fragrances. The Company has fragrance formulas comprised of mixtures of natural and synthetic products.


On October 3 2022 (Closing date), Turpaz reported that it was purchasing 100% of the issued capital and voting rights of Klabin from its shareholders, Saul and Justin Klabin (hereinafter: "the Sellers") in return for a total of USD 22.4 million. The Company's purchase was carried out through Turpaz United States. In addition, the purchase agreement includes contingent consideration (Earn-Out) to the sellers, in which they will be entitled to additional compensation of USD 3 million, in accordance with Kabin's business results in 2023-2025, as will be detailed below.
In accordance with the agreement, the sellers shall be entitled to a sum of up to USD 3 million, on the condition that the average EBIDTA of the Company for 2023-2025, rounded downward to the closest USD 100 thousands (hereinafter: "the Average EBITDA") is higher than USD 2 million (lower threshold) to a ceiling of USD 3 million (upper threshold). The contingent consideration will be determined according to 3 times the difference between the Average EBITDA and the lower threshold.

According to IFRS3, an entity shall account for each business combination by applying the acquisition method.
Applying the acquisition method requires:
An entity is required to identify one of the combining entities in each business combination as the acquirer.
The acquirer shall determine the acquisition date, which is the date on which it obtains control of the acquiree.
The date on which the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree is generally the date on which the acquirer legally transfers the consideration, acquires the assets and assumes the liabilities of the acquiree - the closing date.
As of the acquisition date, the acquirer shall recognize, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are classified based on the economic conditions, operating and accounting policies, contract terms, and other relevant factors that exist as of the acquisition date.

The acquirer is required to measure the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values.
The acquirer shall recognize goodwill as of the acquisition date measured as the excess of (a) over (b) below:
(a) the aggregate of:
(b) The net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed measured in accordance with IFRS3.
Bargain purchases occur if the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable net assets acquired, excluding goodwill, exceed the sum of (i) the fair-value of consideration transferred, (ii) the fair-value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and (iii) the fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree.
Bargain purchase represents an economic gain, which should be immediately recognized by the acquirer in profit or loss.
If a bargain purchase is initially identified, the acquirer should reassess whether all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been identified and recognized, including any additional assets and liabilities not previously identified or recognized in the acquisition accounting. Once completed, the acquirer should review the procedures used to measure the following items:
The objective of the review is to ensure that the measurements appropriately reflect consideration of all available information as of the acquisition date.

In order to arrive at estimate value, the three generally accepted approaches to valuation were considered as described below.
The generally accepted approaches to valuation are commonly referred to as the following:
Within each category, a variety of methodologies exists to assist in the estimation of fair value. The following contain a brief overview of the theoretical basis of each approach, as well as a discussion of the specific methodologies relevant to the analyses performed.
The market approach references actual transactions in the assets of the enterprise being valued or transactions in similar assets that are traded in the public markets. Third-party transactions in the assets of an enterprise generally represent the best estimate of fair market value if they are done at arm's length.
The income approach is based on the premise that the value of a security or asset is the present value of the future earning capacity that is available for distribution to investors in the security or asset. A commonly used methodology under the income approach is a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis involves forecasting the appropriate cash flow stream over an appropriate period and then discounting it back to a present value at an appropriate discount rate.
This discount rate should consider the time value of money, inflation, and the risk inherent in ownership of the asset or security interest being valued.
A third approach to the valuation is the asset-based approach. The discrete valuation of an asset using an asset-based approach is based upon the concept of replacement as an indicator of value. A prudent investor would pay no more for an asset than the amount for which he or she could replace the asset new. The asset-based approach establishes value based on the cost of reproducing or replacing the property, less depreciation from physical deterioration and functional obsolescence, if present and measurable. This approach generally provides the most reliable indication of the value of land improvements, specialpurpose buildings, special structures, systems, and special machinery and equipment.

The valuation of the intangible assets of acquired companies is particularly important since the most valuable assets of this type of company generally are not recorded on the balance sheet before acquisition. Intangibles that may exist at the time of the acquisition include: (a) current and in-process technologies; (b) customer- related intangibles (such as a distribution network or a customer base); (c) trademark(s), trade name(s), and related intellectual property; (d) distribution rights; (e) backlog; and (f) covenants not-to-compete.
In the determination of the Fair Value for each intangible asset, each assessment should consider specific factors of the asset, including (but not limited to):
Assembled workforce was also identified for the valuation analysis but was incorporated as part of goodwill. IFRS3 - Business Combinations, requires that the assembled workforce shall not be recognized as an intangible asset apart from goodwill in a business combination. Nevertheless, the assembled workforce was identified separately for the purpose of calculating the appropriate contributory charge needed to arrive at the Fair Value of each of the Intangible Assets on a standalone basis.
The premise of the relief from royalty method is that ownership of the subject asset relives the owner of the need to license the assets from a third party. Thus, by owning the intangible asset, the owner avoids the royalty payments required to license the asset.
The relief from royalty method is often appropriate for certain types of intangible assets. For example: trademarks and trade names, patents and developed product technology are examples of intangible assets that frequently are licensed in exchange for royalty payment.

The application of the income approach to the valuation of intangible assets acquired is typically performed using the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method ("MPEEM"). The fundamental premise of the multi-period excess earnings method is that the value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the net cash flows attributable to the subject intangible asset. The net cash flows attributable to the subject asset are those in excess of fair returns on all the assets that are necessary to the realization of the cash flows. The contributory asset charges would be based on the fair value of the contributing assets.
The principal behind a contributory asset charge is that each valued asset "rents" or "leases" from a hypothetical third party only the needed assets, and that each project pays the owner of the assets a fair return on the fair value of the rented assets. Thus, any net cash flows remaining after such charges are attributed to the subject-valued asset.
Fixed assets allow the workspace for the marketing sales and logistics functions for both tangible and intangible products. In order to evaluate the assets in a stand-alone basis, a market participant will have to theoretically rent such fixed assets.
Realizing cash flows from the commercialization of new products or services requires working capital for investment in receivables, inventory and other short-term assets. Working capital contributes to the project by allowing and supporting the normal business cycle.
The value of the workforce asset is estimated according to the Cost Approach and is calculated as the cost of recruiting and training personnel.
An additional adjustment is added to the indicated values derived to the Company's intangible assets. Under the assumption of future amortization of the asset for tax purposes, tax amortization benefits reflect the hypothetical tax benefits associated with amortizing the asset for income tax purposes.
The Black Scholes model, also known as the Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) model, is a model of price variation over time of financial instruments such as stocks that can, among other things, be used to determine the price of a European call option.
The model assumes the price of heavily traded assets follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and volatility. When applied to a stock option, the model incorporates the constant price variation of the stock, the time value of money, the option's strike price, and the time to the options expire.
Also called Black-Scholes-Merton, it was the first widely used model for option pricing. It's used to calculate the theoretical value of European-style options using current stock prices, expected dividends, the option's strike price, expected interest rates, time to expiration and expected volatility.


In our opinion, we have considered the existence of the following intangible assets:
We have identified and valued the following intangible assets:
In order to assess the value of the non-compete asset, the probability that the sellers will compete with the Company (if no non-compete agreement between the parties to the transaction had been arranged) must be assessed, as well as the economic damage that may have been caused the Company as a result of any competition that may have existed.
We estimate that the noncompete agreement has negligible value, for the following reasons:
• The sellers remain employed at the Company for the period defined in the agreement.
International standards define "Customer relationships" as agreements, relationships with customers or list of customers of the acquired entity, which have a material value for the acquiring entity. Agreements or relationships with customers have an economic value, as their absence would impact the future cash flows of the business.
Relationships with customers/distributors may result from contracts, but customer/distributor relationships may also derive from other types of business relationships, such as an ordinary relationship arising from supplier-customer sales.
According to international standards, the customer list does not typically arise from contractual or other legal rights. However, customer lists are often leased or exchanged. Therefore, the customer list, acquired in a business combination, normally meets the separable criterion and is identifiable separately from goodwill.
Valuation of the intangible asset "customer relationships" was based on the income approach, the MPEEM method, with the asset valued based on the future cash flow arising from Company revenues.

The Company's customers portfolio is comprised of a variety of customers, most of whom are from the United States. The fragrance essence manufacture field is a field the complex nature of which, the importance of quality and the level of bureaucracy of which dictate conservative and long-term work practices with suppliers. The slightest changes in raw materials may harm the quality of the product, and as a result food manufactures do not often replace suppliers. Turpaz management estimates that the Company's existing customer relations uphold the conditions detailed above, for them to be recognized as an asset separate from goodwill as ongoing relationships exist with Group customers and the Group has available and accessible information on these customers
As noted, the core business is based on the Company's know-how, as it deals in the development, manufacture and marketing of production processes and formulas of fragrance essences to broad segments of various industries. The Company's know-how is an intangible asset representing knowledge developed internally by the Company. Ownership of this accumulated knowhow in effect exempts the asset owner from the need to develop formulas and products, and thus allows the production of profits for the products. Based on information provided by Turpaz Management and analyses we performed, we reached the conclusion that the knowledge meets the accounting definition of an intangible asset and is considered an intangible asset purchased as part of a business combination.
Valuation of the intangible asset "customer relationships" was based on the income approach method, the RFR method, with the asset valued based on the capitalization of "worthwhile royalties" payments saved from the Company and based on the Company's revenues.
As noted, within the framework of the purchase agreement, the Company renewed its rental agreement with Klabin Eco for 5 additional years to September 30 2027. In accordance with Turpaz management, the rental fees set in the new agreement reflect the market price, and therefore there is no additional value, positive or negative, as a result of this agreement..

The following shall be the key assumptions when building the projection of cash flows deriving from the Company's customer relationships:
Economic life span – based on the analysis we performed, the life span of the customer relations was estimated at 10 years as of the assessment date.
Abandonment rate – In accordance with Turpaz Management, the accepted abandonment rate in the industry is 20%, as this rate apparently also applies to the purchased company.
Revenues – Revenues from customer relationships were determined based on the Company's revenue forecast as assumed in the base case (for more details Appendices chapter). Subsequently, these revenues decrease over the course of the forecast years (starting 2023) in accordance with an abandonment rate of 20% as described above.
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to discount the cash flow in order to assess the value of customer relationships is 14%, based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of the activity, less 1%. The discount rate was chosen in accordance with the probability chance of the yield rates estimated by us via WARA analysis.
Cost of goods sold – The cost of goods sold was determined based on the ratio of cost of goods sold, as assumed in the base case.
Sales, administrative and general expenses – the operational expenses were determined according to their rate of revenues from existing customers, as assumed in the base case.
Tax expenses – according to the tax rate in New Jersey (United States), 30%.
Charge for Know-How - Charges for Know-How were calculated based on royalty rate of 5%. For more details, please see the Know-How valuation hereinafter.
Contributory charges – Contributory charges reflect the use of other assets which contributed to creating the value of the intangible asset. From after-tax operating income we deducted contributory charges due to personnel, fixed assets and working capital as follows:

| Fixed Assets | 103 | 5.40% | 6 | 9,810 | 0.06% |
Fixed assets – the value of the fixed assets as of the purchase date is USD 103,000. The pre-tax rate of return was determined in accordance with the Company's long-term USD debt estimated at 7.71% and 5.4% after tax. The contributory charge rate was determined at 0.06% of annual revenues from customer relationships.
Working capital – in order to calculate the contributory charge working capital, the projected working capital balance for 2023 was taken, in accordance with the purchase model, as a normative working capital balance. The pre-tax rate of return was determined based on the Company's short-term debt rate, estimated at 5.86%, and 4.1% after tax. The contributory charge rate with respect to working capital was determined at 0.85% of annual revenues from customer relationships.

Personnel – the value of the skilled personnel asset was estimated in accordance with the cost approach and was calculated as the cost of the employees' recruitment and training cost (for more see Appendix D to this work). This cost was estimated a USD 982,000. The contributory charge for skilled personnel was calculated in accordance with the Company's WACC rate. The contributory charge rate was estimated at 1.5% of annual revenues from customer relationships.
Tax asset (TAB) – in accordance with Section 338 on a business transaction, all intangible assets (with the exception of fixed assets) will be amortized for tax purposes for 15 years from the business closing date. Based on the above, the value of the tax benefit was estimated at 13.1%, as follows:

We estimated the fair value of the knowledge at the Company using the "Relief from Royalty" method. The approach in question is carried out in three stages:
Tax expenses – 30% tax was deducted from the royalties flow, in accordance with the tax rate applicable to Company revenues in the state in which it was active (New Jersey, U.S.).
Discount Rate – The discount rate used to discount the cash flow in order to assess the value of the know-how is 13%, based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of the activity, less 2%. The discount rate was chosen in accordance with the probability chance of the yield rates estimated by us via WARA analysis.
Tax asset (TAB) – in accordance with Section 338 on a business transaction, all intangible assets (with the exception of fixed assets) will be amortized for tax purposes for 15 years from the business closing date. Based on the above, the value of the tax benefit was estimated at 13.7%, as follows:

In accordance with the purchase agreement, the buyer paid a total of USD 22,381 thousands in cash (which includes the adjustment of the contingent consideration as agreed upon by the parties.
As noted in the Description of Transaction chapter, there is additional compensation for the sellers in accordance with the Company's EBITDA results in 2023-2025. To assess the value of the contingent consideration, a calculation was made according to the Black & Scholes Model with an exercise price of USD 2,000 thousands less a call option with an exercise price of USD 3,000 thousands, similar to the covered call strategy (*).
The following are the parameters used for the purpose of the calculations in the options model:
Accordingly, the value of the contingent consideration was calculated in the following manner:
| In Thousands USD | |
|---|---|
| Average EBITDA for the years 2023-2025 | 2,920 |
| Average EBITDA capitalized with WACC | 2,288 |
| Value of CALL option (strike price of USD 2,000 thousands) | 571 |
| Value of CALL option (strike price of USD 3,000 thousands) | 182 |
| Difference | 389 |
| The difference multiplied by 3 (total payable of additional consideration) | 1,168 |
| Value of Earn-Out | 1,025 |

The value of the option with an Strike price of USD 2,000 thousands is USD 571 thousands and the value of the option with an Strike price of USD 3,000 thousands is USD 182 thousands. The option's valuation was performed by multiplying the difference between these options (USD 389 thousands) at a slope of 3 representing the added contingent consideration that will be paid the sellers for an increase of one dollar in the average EBIUTDA.
Subsequently, in order to calculate the current value of the contingent consideration that is expected to be paid (in value terms), capitalization was carried out in the debt premium of Turpaz United States, for a period of 3.6, which constitutes the period from the business closing date to the payment date (some 1.6%). As well as capitalization at riskfree interest for a period of 1.86 years (the difference between the period for payment and the operational period above).
Accordingly, the value of the contingent consideration was estimated at USD 1,025 thousands.
Approximately USD USD 462 thousands, in accordance with the Company's October 3 2022 balance sheet (see Financial Statements chapter).
The value of customer relations was estimated at USD 3,640 thousands (for more see Chapter 6).
The value of know-how is estimated at USD 2,326 thousands (for more see Section 6).
In accordance with Turpaz management, the value of the total fixed asset items is USD 103 thousands, with the cost amortized in the Company's books being USD 3 thousands. Accordingly, the original difference (the difference between the fair value and the book value) of the assets was estimated at USD 100 thousands.
Goodwill is the difference between the consideration in the transaction and the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets, and amounts to a total of USD 16,878 thousands.
The value of goodwill includes the tax benefit (TAB) for Section 338 on assets transactions, which constitutes an additional component of the value of the company in the purchase model. As noted, all intangible assets (with the exception of original differences for fixed assets) will be amortized for tax purposes for 15 years from the closing date. Therefore, the value of the tax benefit for goodwill was estimated at 7% per year, which was calculated as follows:
